Help me ID cookies!!!

[wesleysgirl]

There were these cookies my grandmother used to give us when we were kids. Actually, they were more like a UK biscuit, I think. They weren't all that sweet. They were quite thin and came in fairly large slabs, and were sort of like Fig Newtons except that they were thinner and the layers sandwiching the fruit layer was drier and less cakey. The fruit layer was thicker and stickier than Fig Newton's fig filling (but it might have been fig, or maybe date? something brown.) Again, they were not sweet. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

ETA - sheafrotherdon IDed them as "Golden Fruit" cookies, an American version of Garibaldi biscuits.

Wheeee! Thanks, honey. Now that I think of it there's a British imports foods place in a city we go to occasionally -- I'll check next time we're there!
